Superbad
Plot: Evan, Seth and Fogell are on a mission to get laid at a graduation party. But to do that, they need to get booze, which can only be sold to those over 21. Luckily Fogell has just got a fake I.D. in the name of McLovin
My thoughts: This film follows three socially inept and sexually frustrated students as they try to get booze and get laid. Each has an object for their affection and part of the fun of the film is finding out if they end up getting it on with their ‘chosen’ girlfriend (much like American Pie). There are lots of rude and crude jokes, the script is very good and has some clever lines, and there are some good visual jokes. (Prepare for some inventive penis drawings). Because the plot is basic, the film relies heavily on the characters and the situations they find themselves in. My favourite characters are the two cops, who form a bizarre bond with ‘McLovin’.
On the whole, it is a typical crude teen ‘cumming of age’ movie with some great characters. If you likes American Pie then you will probably find this better.
Best bit: The two cops steal the show
Score: 7/10
